Ganpati Visarjan in Bollywood is always full of colour, music and star power, but Shilpa Shetty brought an extra dose of energy to the celebrations this year. The actor was seen bidding an emotional farewell to Lord Ganesha with her family, and it was her unexpected dhol-playing moment that stole the show.
Dressed in a bright yellow saree and traditional gold jewellery, Shilpa looked every bit the festive diva. Her husband Raj Kundra and son Viaan joined her in matching yellow kurtas, while her daughter also embraced the festive theme in a yellow saree.
Shilpa Shetty Picks Up The Dhol
As the dhol beats got louder during the Visarjan procession, Shilpa couldn’t resist joining in. She first danced enthusiastically with her children before getting behind the dhol herself.
And let’s just say, Shilpa didn’t play it like someone trying it for the first time!
The actor confidently picked up the dhol and played along with the musicians, matching the energy of the celebration. She was also seen dancing alongside the paparazzi as everyone soaked in the festive mood.
Videos of the moment quickly made their way onto social media, with fans showering Shilpa with praise for her infectious enthusiasm.
One fan called her a “pro” on the dhol, while another simply reacted to her “energy.” Others applauded her confidence, with comments praising the actor for continuing to celebrate with the same enthusiasm.
One particularly fun reaction read “super se bhi upar” — a phrase Shilpa herself has famously used during her appearances on dance reality shows.

Fans Can’t Get Enough Of Shilpa’s Energy
What stood out was that Shilpa wasn’t simply posing for the cameras. She appeared completely immersed in the celebration, dancing, playing the dhol and enjoying the procession with her family.
Social media users also couldn’t resist joking about the actor’s youthful energy, with one fan commenting that she was “reverse ageing.”
From her yellow saree to her spontaneous dhol performance, Shilpa’s Ganpati Visarjan celebration became one of those Bollywood festive moments that was impossible to ignore.
A Star-Studded Ganpati Visarjan
Shilpa Shetty wasn’t the only Bollywood star celebrating Ganpati with her family. Salman Khan was also spotted joining his family for the festivities at his brother Sohail Khan’s residence.
Salman participated in the rituals and performed aarti, while videos showed the Khan family enjoying the festive atmosphere. He was also seen spending time with his niece Ayat as the family marked the occasion.
But online, Shilpa’s dhol performance certainly had its own moment.
What Is Shilpa Shetty Up To?
On the work front, Shilpa was recently seen hosting the reality show Maa Hai Na, a comedy-cooking format that brought celebrity mothers and their Gen Z children together.
The show mixed cooking challenges with games and candid conversations, exploring everything from generational differences to family bonds. The finale aired on July 1, with Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, and his mother Munesh Tanwar taking home the trophy.
For now, though, Shilpa seems to be enjoying a different kind of spotlight — and judging by those dhol beats, she is clearly not letting anyone else have all the fun!
